Summary by Ater Ater
Comments
Probably one of the first songs I ever heard: it was a Billboard No.1 hit when I was born!
NOSTALGIA
BRO
Somehow, when this was issued, copies ran faster and Teresa sounded higher-pitched - She re-did the song for Coral and it was in her natural voice.
i remember this song but never thought about her being a relative.
Shocked I cannot find any credit to "GOOD BYE MY LADY LOVE
I prefer Sølvi Wang and Arve Opsahl’s version. Sølvi sang much better than Teresa Brewer.
I’m forever dreaming of you
fucking straight up heater of a song
Mad Men!
Banned in some areas for 'suggestive' lyrics. In terms of record sales, the ban appears to have been counter productive.
I’m not really a fan of the 1950s music. I heard a norwegian version and found this for hear the original. I love music recorded 1889-1940
WHY DID PATTY ANDREWS NOT GET HER NAME ON THE LABEL???? THIS CAUSED A TEMPORARY BREAKUP....ONE OF MANY....LOTS OF JEALOUSY FOR THOSE 3 GALS...BUT THEY HAD A GREAT SOUND....
Great TUNE. Thanks
I was brought up on what I know know to be a stereo remake, circa, I think.. 1959-60. Not crazy about this original at all. My fave is her 53 remake.
Lovey. My favorite Berlin song by Harry Nilsson and the Gordon Jenkins Orchestra. Amazing ?
One of my favourite oldies by the Andrew sisters.
????????
Beautifully Haunting.
Reminds me of the one I dream of.
A beautiful, inspired arrangement and production, where every part comes together to create magic. A true classic. "Mama" Cass Elliot was heavily influenced by these types of songs from her childhood.
